The verdict is computed from verified data and recomputes when the data changes. It is not an opinion and no commercial arrangement alters it. Methodology
Rule by rule
Max loss is 10% of initial balance — static on the 2-Step and end-of-day trailing on the 1-Step — measured on equity, so floating losses count.
A mix of static floors (8% Two-Step, 3% Three-Step, 10% BNPL eval) and trailing ones (5% One-Step, 3% Instant, 8% funded BNPL off the floating-equity peak), with no documentation of whether the trail ever stops at breakeven.
Hard daily limit of 5% (2-Step) or 3% (1-Step) of initial capital, recalculated at CET midnight and applied to equity — touching it for an instant fails the account.
A hard daily limit of 2–4% by program on the higher of equity or balance at 00:00 UTC; only the BNPL evaluation has no daily limit.
The 2-Step has no consistency rule at all; the 1-Step requires your best day to stay within 50% of your positive days' profit to pass, never failing the account.
A 20% consistency score on Instant, funded BNPL and OMO (15% per trade on Mini) gates withdrawals, plus a universal rule: above $5,000 profit your best day can't exceed 50%.
Two phases: 10% ($5,000) in Phase 1 and 5% ($2,500) in Verification, minimum 4 days each; 10% ($5,000) max overall loss, 5% ($2,500) daily.
8% ($4,000) and 5% ($2,500), no minimum days; 8% ($4,000) max overall loss, 4% daily.
On-demand payouts from day 14 after your first trade, at a 90% split (1-Step) or 80% rising to 90% (2-Step), with the 2-Step entry fee refunded with your first withdrawal.
